## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is currently seeking proposals through an open tender for consultancy services aimed at supporting equality, diversity, and inclusion benchmarking for its workforce. The title of the tender is "Request for Quotation for Support for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarking (Workforce)."

The deadline for tender submissions is 26th November 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 9th January 2022 and run until 8th January 2024. The budget allocated for this project is £20,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in human resources management consultancy, particularly those with expertise in equality, diversity, and inclusion.

## Notice
